lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today’s good news is that the UN General Assembly has, by a very large majority, adopted a resolution demanding that Israel stop erecting the so-called security wall. The resolution even demands that those parts of the wall that have already been built should be torn down. Today’s bad news is that, in spite of the UN decision, Israel is continuing to build the wall. In the report we are debating, the European Parliament regards the bringing of peace to the Middle East as the most important task to be shared with the United States, together with Russia and the UN. We reiterate, moreover, our unqualified support, with which the UN decision is splendidly in keeping, for the implementation of the road map. Today, we are also able, together with Commissioner Patten, to be delighted that the hierocracy in Iran is to allow comprehensive inspections and to refrain from producing uranium for use in nuclear weapons. The final Iranian acceptance of nuclear inspections followed a visit by the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Great Britain – an international agreement for which the EU can take credit. We are today debating a sound report, and that is something for which I should also like to thank Mr Brok. It is a very concise report, but not a short one, and I only have a short time in which to mention some of the points I think important. The US-NATO relationship is quite fundamental to the European security structure, and we must support the development of reinforced cooperation in the defence area. Asia, and China in particular, has not been given as much attention in the report as might perhaps have been wished. The increased tensions in relations between China and North Korea is cause for concern, but what is more worrying is, of course, the fact that North Korea will not phase out its nuclear weapons programme. We regard this as a considerable threat to stability in Asia. The Taiwan issue must also be mentioned in this context. In a democratic institution such as this, we must regret the lack of progress on this matter. Taiwan is both democratic and peaceful, but the Taiwanese cannot live in the same manner as people in other free, democratic countries, given the way its neighbour is behaving. I should like to call for a new dialogue between China and Taiwan and for the EU to do more in pressing for a solution to the conflict."@en1
